New Employee Welcome

This highly interactive half-day program is designed to help new staff successfully
transition to WCU. President Fiorentino welcomes and shares the University mission,
vision, strategic plan, and the importance of Distributed Leadership. Participants
will also enjoy a van/walking tour of the campus and an interactive game show about
what the campus has to offer. The new employee orientation experience concludes with
a networking luncheon.

Past Participant Reviews

“It was a very valuable learning tool; as a greater information resource that I could
never get just being employed here. I came to the understanding that my facilitators
were passionate at what they do; that they worked hard over the years to provide the
service at the extent to where it is today.”

“I want to thank you for inviting me to the New Employee's Welcome Orientation! Everything
was very organized and informative, and our group was small and congenial. Both of
you did an excellent job with your presentations as well as the other presenters.
The game at the end was a great way to end our time together and the lunch was delicious.
I can truly say I know more now about the University because of your efforts. Being
employed for 6 weeks at the University has been a wonderful experience and your orientation
was 'the icing on the cake!’”

“Thank you both so much for the orientation program today. I truly enjoyed meeting
all of the other new employees and all of the information presented was interesting
and helpful. The number of people involved and the length of time were perfect. I
just wanted to let you know that I really do appreciate it.”

“(New Employee Orientation) made us feel more comfortable and excited about our new
adventures!”
